Interval type-2 fuzzy sets, each of which is characterized by the footprint of uncertainty, are a very useful means to depict the linguistic information in the process of decision making. In this article, we investigate the group decision making problems in which all the linguistic information provided by the decision makers is expressed as interval type-2 fuzzy decision matrices where each of ...

a matrix $pintextmd{c}^{ntimes n}$ is called a generalized reflection matrix if $p^{h}=p$ and $p^{2}=i$‎. ‎an $ntimes n$‎ ‎complex matrix $a$ is said to be a reflexive (anti-reflexive) matrix with respect to the generalized reflection matrix $p$ if $a=pap$ ($a=-pap$)‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎we introduce two iterative methods for solving the pair of matrix equations $axb=c$ and $dxe=f$ over reflexiv...

matrix metalloproteinases (mmps) are a family of neutral proteinases that are important in normal development, cellular differentiation or migration, angiogenesis, neurogenesis, wound repair, and a wide range of pathological processes such as oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. mmps have been demonstrated to increase the permeability of the blood–brain barrier (bbb) by degrading the compone...

The extracellular matrix is important for tumor invasion and metastasis. Normal function of the extracellular matrix depends on the balance between matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). The objective of this meta-analysis was to assess the relationship between expression of MMP-9, MMP-2, and TIMP-2 and invasion of pituitary adenomas.We searched Pu...

In this paper‎, ‎we study the extremal‎ ‎ranks and inertias of the Hermitian matrix expression $$‎ ‎f(X,Y)=C_{4}-B_{4}Y-(B_{4}Y)^{*}-A_{4}XA_{4}^{*},$$ where $C_{4}$ is‎ ‎Hermitian‎, ‎$*$ denotes the conjugate transpose‎, ‎$X$ and $Y$ satisfy‎ ‎the following consistent system of matrix equations $A_{3}Y=C_{3}‎, ‎A_{1}X=C_{1},XB_{1}=D_{1},A_{2}XA_{2}^{*}=C_{2},X=X^{*}.$ As‎ ‎consequences‎, ‎we g...
